Thanks arsheesh. Google earth is probably the second most used program for me right now.

Ok so I have started to try doing the desert area for a change of scenery, this is what I have after the 4th try, it looks...ok. Deserts are much harder than mountains, the colors are much less forgiving thus I'm having trouble with the colors. I'm wondering if simply having the canyons as black lines might work better, without trying to create depth. Any thoughts or advice?
